Ma Xiaowei
In the 1980s, Ma Xiaowei was on a par with Tang Guoqiang, Guo Kaimin and other first-line students, he was handsome in appearance, Yushu Linfeng, and was known as "Jade Face Little Student".
He starred in classic films such as "Love of the Sea", "Return of Yan", "Xiyingmen", "Happy Bachelor", "Thunderstorm", "Shoot, Send Him Off" and so on, which still make the audience reminisce endlessly.
At the peak of the red, Ma Xiaowei passively went underground to do business, and after returning to the film world, he fell silent. Later, he opened another door to acting...
Born in Qufu, Shandong Province in 1961, Ma Xiaowei became fascinated by poetry reading under the influence of his sister. In 1977, the East China Drama Training Class came to Shandong to enroll. Ma Xiaowei, who was just 16 years old, is a beautiful teenager who makes people shine. After reciting a set of poems, he was easily admitted to the drama class.

After the performance training, a debriefing performance was held, and Ma Xiaowei won warm applause for performing "Shi Yang" in the drama "Storm". At that time, the leader of "Popular Film", Cui Boquan, was watching a drama offstage, and he felt that the young man's image, temperament, and acting skills were good, so he took him to the Shanghai Film Studio to try a play.
This film is the popular "Love of the Sea", and the director is Zhao Huanzhang. Ma Xiaowei, a blank piece of paper, luckily starred in male number one. A scene with Zhao Jing in the sunset by the sea, which contained a love pulse, was also on the back cover of the "Popular Movie" at that time.
"Love of the Sea" made Ma Xiaowei a hit. In the following years, he starred in many classic films such as "The Return of Yan", "Drifting Adventure", "Xiying Gate", "Shoot, Send Him Off" and so on. At that time, it was popular to say that "there is Tang Guoqiang in the north and Ma Xiaowei in the south".

It is worth mentioning that the film "Shoot, Send Him Off" was a sensation that year.
In these plays, Ma Xiaowei plays various roles such as intellectuals, workers, peasants, and soldiers. In order to portray each role well, Ma Xiaowei practiced taekwondo and boxing, went to the countryside to experience life, followed the local farmers to break corn, and his fingers were bleeding.
Ma Xiaowei made these films, basically produced by the Shanghai Film Studio, and many viewers mistakenly thought that he was an actor in the studio. In fact, Ma Xiaowei's working relationship has been in the Jiangsu Provincial Repertory Theatre, and later transferred to the Bayi Film Studio in Beijing.

Every role created by Ma Xiaowei is by no means the same, which is not something that ordinary actors can do, which shows how outstanding his talent and acting skills are!
In the mid-to-late 1980s, a wave of stars went abroad in China, and both famous actors and unknown actors rushed abroad. But Ma Xiaowei never wanted to go abroad, nor did he want to go to the sea to do business, but he was still pushed into the sea by fate.
Originally, at that time, Jiangsu Province set up a business window for external development in Hong Kong, and the relevant departments wanted to find a famous and influential person to serve as the general manager of the company.

The relevant departments selected Ma Xiaowei. At that time, he had just finished filming the movie "An Actress's Dream", and after that, he left the film and television circle to do business in Hong Kong.
The company's main business has nothing to do with performing arts, and its business mainly involves real estate, finance and other fields. With the efforts of Ma Xiaowei and the team, the company's business is booming.
Although the company's benefits are very good, Ma Xiaowei often gushes in his heart to leave the hidden pain of leaving the film world. At that time, Hong Kong's Yindu Company intended to invite Ma Xiaowei to shoot a play, but hong Kong's filming method was completely different from that of the mainland, and the passion scene with the actress was relatively large-scale, beyond the bottom line of Ma Xiaowei's bearing, so he rejected Yindu Company and single-mindedly engaged in business.
One day in 1993, Ma Xiaowei stood on the tallest building in Hong Kong and watched the night view, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Only then did he truly realize that he was not happy in business, and he was still haunted by the screen.
Soon, Ma Xiaowei resigned as general manager and returned to the mainland from Hong Kong to shoot films.
In the same year, he co-starred with Gong Xue, who was still in the United States at the time, in the movie "Stock Market Marriage", which did not cause any repercussions. Immediately after, Ma Xiaowei starred in the film "The Story of the Great Painter Liu Haisu", which did not attract attention.

He found that although he had only been away from the film industry for a few years, the film and television circle had undergone earth-shaking changes, and he had long since lost his former influence and appeal.
Subsequently, Ma Xiaowei took over the TV series "Long March" and competed with Tang Guoqiang for the role of "Mao Zedong". As a result, the director selected Tang Guoqiang and let Ma Xiaowei play "Bogu". This role is very light, and Ma Xiaowei's heart, who does not accept defeat, is stung.
When the production director asked him what role you would like to play if we had a war scene next time, Ma Xiaowei gambled and said, "I want to play Chiang Kai-shek." In fact, Ma Xiaowei had never played Chiang Kai-shek before.

He said this out of competitiveness, but it turned out that Ma Xiaowei had the strength and capital to say this. Since then, for more than 10 years, he has played "Chiang Kai-shek" in more than 20 film and television dramas such as "Yan'an Song", "Liberation", "Chongqing Negotiations", "Blood Battle Xiangjiang" and so on, becoming the most well-known special actor who plays "Chiang Kai-shek", which is deeply loved by the audience.
In 2021, Ma Xiaowei is already 60 years old. He was red, brilliant, and later silent, but the role of a special actor made him usher in the spring of his acting career again.
Throughout Ma Xiaowei's life, it is a parabola. Every stage has wonderful, but also tears and troubles, this is the real life.
